I, my own true lover, as we sing a lover's song, How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone. How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone. Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing our lover's song, How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone. High above, the dawn is waking, and my tears are falling rain, For the carnival is over, we may never meet again. For the carnival is over, we may never meet again. I may roam a thousand miles, but never will I find, Happiness I've known in your embrace. Nothing can compare the diamonds that shine, To the soul that tears on your face. Like the drum, my heart was beating, and your kiss was sweet as wine. For the joys of love are fleeting, but we're wild and columbine. Now the harbor light is calling, this will be our last goodbye. For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die. Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing our lover's song, How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone. Say goodbye, my own true lover, this will be our last goodbye. For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die. For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die. For the carnival is over, I will love you till I die.
